There has been some work done, and in fact, that's one of the reasons
that gcc 2.7.1 supports the PowerPC rather well.  One of the people
involved has written a PowerPC simulator plug-in for gdb that some of
the gcc development has been tested under.  I haven't actually gotten
it set up here, myself, yet...  (Got close a few times before disk space

Not a secret...  I'll be working on the 8500, but I won't be going for
any speed records...  ;-)
